Today it’s Thanksgiving in the US of A. Ah yes, I hear you cry, but we are not IN the USA (well some of you might be, but by this time you will be starting to stuff the turkey). BUT, BUT, this will be the first ever year that I am having a Thanksgiving dinner, this very weekend. It’s also a holiday that I wish we WOULD adopt here in the UK. Why? Because Americans apparently focus so much on Thanksgiving that Christmas doesn’t even feature until afterwards, something I am quite passionate about. Here in the UK we are starting WAY too early.
And so, tonight’s playlist is dedicated not only to Thanksgiving (OK, some of the links are rather tenuous) but also the second half of the show will be all about Black Friday, and the tracks or bands will involve the word Black!
There are the usual treats such as ‘Snap’, (this week it’s “Limousine”), Double Whammy from The Scratch ( a little bird tells me Mr Andy may pop in), Something For The Weekend (so bring a notebook) and topics such as Guilty Pleasures, Minki’s Moments and things neighbours do to annoy you.
I'd love to know what you think of the tonight's tracks - what do you like/not like/what do you want to hear more of? Of course if you have something that gives you a magic moment, let me know - minki@rechargedradio.com, so I can read it out on the show. Or visit the Facebook page on facebook.com/minkismagicmoments - come and say hello!

It’s not what you think; already a yearly retrospective rounding up all those tracks I’ve been playing. Oh no, well, maybe half is. I received a new track from Limozine entitled Twenty Greatest Hits and I have been dying to play it. Due to circumstances, i haven’t been able to … until now! And so, in honour of this occasion, the show’s theme is, yes, 20 Greatest Hits. Also, appropriately and spookily, this is also the 20th show! Celebrations all round.
To mix it up a bit, I have handpicked 10 of my all time favourites, and 10 new tracks that could well be this show’s future greatest hits, plus some more goodies such as new feature Double Whammy and old favourite Missing in Action. Of course, this also means that we need more time, and so I’ve had permission to talk a bit longer than normal; 2 hours in fact! Whether I can manage this after being to used to hourly show chunks, is another matter, but let’s see. I’m also hoping my stinking cold won’t impair the show. If all else fails we will just play more music :)
